Sometimes, we all need a gentle reminder.
Life gets busy. But there’s one thing that deserves attention sooner rather than later: your health. If you’ve forgotten to set your Annual Wellness Visit or have just put it off, we can help you take care of it. Schedule a visit today!
Preventive care plays a key role in staying healthy, but knowing where to start isn’t always easy. That’s where an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) comes in. An AWV helps you and your primary care provider create a personalized prevention plan tailored to your unique needs. It gives you a clear picture of your current health, identifies any recommended tests or screenings, and helps you take proactive steps to maintain your well-being. Unlike a standard physical or check-up, an AWV is a yearly appointment focused on prevention, designed to support better health today and help you head off potential illnesses in the future.
Bring a list of your questions and what medications you’re taking so you and your primary care provider can create your personalized prevention plan.
Unlike a physical, this visit is about you connecting with your doctor. It’s your chance to ask questions, understand your risk factors, and prioritize your ongoing health.
During your visit, your'll be asked to fill out a Health Risk Assessment (HRA), a questionnaire that can help your provider develop a personalized prevention plan.
It covers a review of your personal and family medical history, along with a focused physical exam featuring vital signs, screenings, and cognitive assessments to provide a complete picture of your health.
Learn more about adult immunizations and make sure you’re up to date. Setting time aside for a visit with your health care professional allows you to get your vaccine questions answered sooner rather than later.
Before you leave, jot down any next steps your provider recommends—whether it’s scheduling a follow-up appointment, or checking in with a specialist. If you have questions after the visit or want to share an update, give them a call.
Don’t wait, schedule a virtual or in-person visit with a primary care physician. New patients welcome in Camarillo, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Thousand Oaks, and Ventura.
These visits help create a complete picture of your overall health over time. They allow your provider to identify potential issues early, from chronic conditions to mental health concerns, so you get the right care when it matters most. They also support healthy habits around sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle, while monitoring key health metrics to ensure you stay on track at every stage of life.
